Domino's Bread Bowl



Recommended Posts

Over the last 3 or 4 days I have seen the ads for the latest Domino's offering - Pasta, covered in cheese, wrapped in bread dough. After days of watching, my interest was peaked.....while I could find the price within seconds- 15 minutes of trying to find the nutritional info and I finally gave up! Granted - A year ago, I am not sure I would have cared but a little education goes a long way

Now I believe every food as a time and a place but do we really need this???

I didn't even bother looking it up. The idea of eating Pasta covered in bread does not appeal to me!

Ugh, its probably what we've got to look forward to here in six months.

Even the cheese crust pizza adds make me want to barf. I never would have eaten food like that even if I was starving. The very idea of pizza hut's revolting sloppy pizza base, filled with fake cheese, ugh.

Lean Cuisines, microwave meals, stuff in cans, I think its all yuck. I got fat eating real food, lol. I really do think all this processed muck has to go out of our diets for our health and I refuse to feed my kids crap like that - but even for a die hard carb eater like me, Pasta covered in bread is just a little hard to take!

I defend my (wholegrain) carb eating but the truth is I eat WAY less than I did and my body is better for it. I just need a little for running fuel, but not meals like this!

Thanks babygirl - Should be illegal. Or at the very least have a sin tax on it. Is it any wonder our obesity rate in the US climbs higher every year.

Just looking at that makes my stomach hurt! Truthfully I thought it would have more calories.. though the amount listed is more than enough.

I thought they looked interesting, but then we got some and they where crap. The cheese wasn't right.

A lot of this stuff, I wouldn't eat pre-surgery either. But I was never into the salty, startchy, greasy stuff. I liked sweet stuff.

I don't know about any of you, but with my band, I have a hard time eating Pasta and bread. It gets stuck. Also, 1400 calories isn't even possible for me in a whole day. I can remember a day, though, when it was VERY possible, and then I'd eat again later in the day! lol!

I very rarely eat out at all anymore, Domino's isn't even a fleeting desire, but I was curious about this because I teach a "Fast Food" lesson to HS students.

I found what appeared to be reliable info because Domino's doesn't have this item in their online nutritional value link yet.

The meal is intended for 2 people, but at $6 you know many individuals will make it their personal meal.

This link is a pdf file stating the bowls are for 2 servings @ 700 calories each. check the second one on the list:

http://www.yumyucky.com/All%20Pasta%20Combined.pdf

This is from another "researcher" who believes a bowl to be around 1460 calories:

That's Fit

Anyone eating a whole bowl would devour around 1400 calories, 50 grams fat, 110% sat. fat DV, 62% carb DV, 90% sodium DV. On the plus side 52 grams Protein. Sounds like all one needs a day! Why waste your time on the small stuff?:party:

Isn't it amazing how after he lapband, and eating very carefully by making better choices for ourselves because we can only put a small amount of food into our stomachs, that we now full understand what is an atrocious meal is? Before the lapband, I would have eaten that and had no problem with it. I would have thrown in one of their side salads as well, and felt I was getting a good lunch. Now that I can only hold a few bites of food at a time, I make very good choices before I put anything in my mouth. I love the band!

Well, it may not be healthy, or even palatable, but does that mean it should be made illegal? Or even have a special tax levied against it? I don't think it's the government's business to decide what its citizens may or may not consume....but hey, I'm a libertarian kind of guy.

I haven't even had my surgery yet and I find this to be disgusting. Don't get me wrong, I love my carbs (one reason why I need the surgery) but Pasta in a bread bowl? That is way too much! I don't even care for the Soup in the bread bowls. Blech.

When I eat Pasta or bread, I can only have about 2-3 bites, and that's it for the whole meal. I'm done. Then there might even be a knot in my chest for a half hour or so. It's just not worth it.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
